LUBRICATING BEARINGS
!
Bearings must be lubricated properly in order to
prevent excess heat generation, sparks and
premature failure.
!
Do not insulate bearing housings as this can result
in excess heat generation, sparks and premature
failure.
Grease Lubrication (Standard). Grease lubricated pumps
can be identified by grease fittings located on bearing
housing. Sufficient lubricant is inserted at factory for 2,000
hours of operation. See Preventive Maintenance for grease
lubrication instructions.
Oil Lubrication (Optional). Oil lubricated pumps are not
lubricated at factory. A high quality turbine type oil, with
rust and oxidation inhibitors, should be used. Constant
level oilers are supplied with most oil lubricated pumps.
They are included in box of fittings which accompanies the
pump. Oil adjustments must be set prior to lubrication. See
Preventive Maintenance for recommended lubricants and
supplies.
For Initial Oil Lubrication of New Bearings
1. Remove oiler (1), Fig. 15.
2. Remove adjustment assembly (2) from oiler.
3. Adjust bars to dimension A, as required, Table 3.
4. Lock in position.
5. Replace adjustment assembly in oiler.
6. Install oiler.
$
CAUTION
Bar adjust must be adjusted as stated in procedure c(3).
If not adjusted properly, bearing will not be lubricated.
NOTE: Never fill through oil vent or oiler housing.
7. Fill each bottle with oil and replace in oiler
housing.Oil reservoir in bearing housing is filled
when oil remains visible in bottle. Several fillings of
bottle are required.
Bearing cooling is available with oil lubrication (optional)
only. When used, cooling water must be connected to
bearing housing, and a waste or return line must be used.
Water cooling is required when operating temperatures
exceed 250° F (121°C).
DRIVER BEARINGS
Check to be sure that driver bearings are properly
lubricated. Contact motor manufacturer for lubrication
instructions.
